Thanks for the info. I'm ok with that, I like Perl, but I can live
without it too. :-) Two questions:

1) Can Tcl return multiple rows?

2) Do you know where I can find some sample pl/tcl code? I've found the
postgres docs, but there isn't a lot there.

3) ok, 3 questions... Any word on pl/php and a release date?

Thanks again.

Cheers,

Chris
